Hi Tim,
This sounds good to me - and I think it's the kind of thing that Adopt
would very much be interested in.
I'm looping in adoption-discuss, AdoptOpenJDK and Martijn, as I'm not
sure how many other folk are reading openjdk-binary.
Adoption folk - what do we think? Does this fit under the existing structure?
Tim - assuming that it does, what practical things can AdoptOpenJDK do
to help you?
Thanks,
Ben
